Get that boy into better equipment and he is going to kick some butt when he graduates from Nationwide. I really like almost all the young kids coming up (and most of them are more "likeable" than Brad), but IMO no one has the talent he does.

I think Brad would be awesome at SHR.

Don't know whether or not Tony likes Brad myself,i was useing him as a referance.Don't know what you mean by it's just me,unless you are referring to my merley mortal opinion of Danica and i agree it appears it is just me? Once i thought i was wrong,but i was just mistaken. I'm not going to say it,but i think Brad is better than----------------------------------------------ahh,most i've seen in a long time.Nascar doesn't need Danica as she hasn't helped fill the stands in the IRL,however,i do believe alot of people are going to be curious and even myself as to what she can or can't do or how she reacts in differant situations even.The one thing for sure is,it's going to be interesting and it's a plus for Nascar.That's as far as i can go Tlmerk,i don't dislike her,but the media frenzy is blowing this way out of out of the water if you ask me.Danica doesn't need all the pressure and we don't need to expect something we may never see.

I think she meant that you, her ( TLMerk) and myself are some of the few BK fans, on this site. Smokeshow says he likes him... and there's probably a handful that like BK, but just don't say anything. I agree with what you both said about BK and kind of wish HE would come to SHR,and not Danica.

Having just said that... since Danica WILL drive a handful of Sprint Cup races for SHR....1) I hope the best for her, for SHR and 2) I'm gonna have to almost begrudgingly like her, simply because she's on the team now. LOL That's a joke - where is the sarcasm font? ? But I'm actually a little mixed on her. I like how she races, learns and goes up at the right time, kind of like following in Tony's footsteps .... but dang it.... I just HATE all the sex related ads she does. Sex sells and everything else walks, yeah I get that.... but jeez.... it just seems to sell herself a little short, by doing it. I wish she would stop... then I could really get behind her as a fan.

Danica Patrick announced that she will run the full Nationwide Series schedule with JR Motorsports in the #7 and an 8-10 race Sprint Cup schedule with Stewart Hass Racing. Her Cup schedule has not yet been determined.(8-25-2011)

Sad to say, I'm not a full fledge SHR fan now. I only back up Tony & Ryan

a woman that owns and controls her sexuality is not selling themselves short, in fact it is the total opposite,

I think the deal with Danica is the same as it is for the men. Either you make it or you don't. If your team is mediocre and you have a sponsor that doesn't care perhaps you'll stick around for awhile but even that gets old and your gone. Most people don't have the money to toss around and get nothing for it. As for Tony not liking Brad I don't believe it. Tony can have dust ups and be mad as he$$ and then show up for their foundation to race when he promised he would. I will never forget several years ago that Tony and Matt Kenseth had problem that was quite heated. Matt and his father were having a special race I believe at his father's track in Wisconsin and Matt didn't think he'd show up because of the argument they'd had. Well he did show up to race and Matt was shocked. Tony told him he always keeps a promise....No matter what.

Thank you to those who took a step forward to save the rest who stand still.

On Thursday, Patrick confirmed plans to take the next step in her career...

And now, her focus turns to NASCAR. Sitting alongside Bob Parsons, CEO and founder of GoDaddy, Patrick made it official Thursday: She will run the entire Nationwide Series schedule next season for JR Motorsports. In addition, she'll compete in between eight and 10 Sprint Cup Series races for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Hmmmm, sence she is goin to try & run 8 to 10 Cup races, (and thats not even a part time driver) I'm wonderin if she has a Go-Daddy Free Pass, or does she have to Qualify on her lap time to get in the Cup race?
